Syrian refugees are living in terrible conditions.
Children are crying for warmth.

WE HELPED.

Rocktown Rallies collected new/gently-used blankets and children's coats from 
November 7th - December 4th.
Hundreds of people did their part to spread warmth across the world.
​Donated items were delivered to northern Virginia where volunteers from Help Syrian Refugees, an initiative of Embrace Relief, transported donated items to refugee camps in southern Turkey. Help Syrian Refugees is a coalition of local government and other organizations in northern Virginia, and 2015 marks their third blanket drive for Syrian refugees.

Refugees need advocates.

Refugees need advocates. If you hear of a way to help, please don't be afraid to spread the word!
Check out "Our Heroes," highlights of the drive.
